Chapter 22, Problem 22.22QP

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Using crystal field theory high-spin octahedral complex of $C{r}^{2+}$ has to be described.

Concept Introduction:

Complexes are of two types - low spin complex and high spin complex. A complex is said to be low-spin if it doesn't have unpaired electrons whereas in high spin complex there will be presence of unpaired electrons.
